How to Make Biggest Loser Fish Tacos
- In a medium bowl, combine the tilapia fillets with 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference!), 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tilapia and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- While the fish cooks, prepare the cabbage slaw: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
- Assemble the tacos: Place the cooked tilapia in each tortilla, top with the cabbage slaw, and a dollop of your favorite salsa (optional).
- Garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
